Enable self-registration on a group

  • Updated

This feature requires the Extended Enterprise solution. Contact your Account Manager for more information.

Users registering through self-registration will have to enter their first name, last name, email, password, and security code, select a language, and enter the values for the selected custom fields, if any.

Only users who do not already have an account on the platform may self-register.

The full workflow for allowing users to self-register in groups includes the following steps:

  1. Activating self-registration on the group
  2. Sharing the registration link and security code with users who may want to self-register

Group admins receive (an optional) notification that users have self-registered.

Activate self-registration in a group

Administrators and user administrators can activate self-registration in a group.

Self-registered users are added as Learners to the group.

  1. In the homepage sidebar, click on a group.
  2. At the top right of the main section, click settings.svg Settings.
  3. At the top, click USERS.
  4. In the left sidebar, click Add users → Set up self-registration.
  5. Enable Activate self-registration.

You can now share the registration link and security code with users who want to self-register (you can click COPY MESSAGE to save the welcome message in your clipboard).

Only users who do not have an account on your platform may self-register.

You can reset the security code by clicking GENERATE NEW CODE. The registration link remains the same, but only users with the new code will be able to self-register.

Add domain restriction

Administrators and user administrators can restrict the domain of email addresses of users who self-register.

  1. In the homepage sidebar, click on a group.
  2. At the top right of the right-side panel, click settings.svg Settings.
    • If the side panel is hidden, open it by clicking sideWindowLeft.svg Open newsfeed at the bottom right.
  3. At the top, click USERS.
  4. In the left sidebar, click Add users → Set up self-registration.
  5. In the field Domain name restrictions, enter the domains (with the @), separated by a semicolon.

Add an automatic deletion date

Administrators and user administrators can add an automatic deletion date for users who self-register.

  1. In the homepage sidebar, click on a group.
  2. At the top right of the right-side panel, click settings.svg Settings.

Add custom fields to the self-registration form

Administrators and user administrators can add custom fields to the self-registration form. Learners can then select the values for the custom fields upon self-registration. Selecting the values is not mandatory for learners.

  1. In the homepage sidebar, click on a group.
  2. At the top right of the right-side panel, click settings.svg Settings.
